Chapter 170: Elliana slapped him?
"Hmm, okay," Elliana was about to close the windows when Sebastian placed his hand on hers, which she immediately pulled away, making him look at her hand that she clenched by her side.
"Are you okay?" Sebastian asked, and Elliana nodded softly.
"Yes. You don’t have to worry about that. I won’t die before you get the throne," Elliana said and tried to close the window again, but Sebastian’s hand stopped her from doing so.
"How did you get hurt?"
"I fell on my way back and lost my way," Elliana sighed, her gaze flickering to his hand that was holding the windows as if wanting to break them.
"Is there anything else?" Elliana asked.
"Yes. The ship won’t sail because of the bad weather. So I heard we will go back home after this," Sebastian said, and Elliana nodded.
"I heard from Samantha. It’s good in a way. I have delayed your work quite a lot. You won’t have to pretend to be my bodyguard anymore, and we’ll go back to our daily lives. If you want you can avoid me at home- at the palace I mean," Elliana smiled.
Sebastian didn’t like the tone she was using with him. She wasn’t disrespectful to him. In fact, she was being too polite, so polite that it was suffocating him.
It made him feel like he was talking to someone else and not the person he has grown accustomed to, the person who knows how to joke around, who would blush every time he would hold her hand and not jerk it back in awkwardness as she did just now.
He didn’t like any of it, and the more wary Elliana was with him, the more he hated it.
